ZiggyPuff Posted June 29, 2019 Posted June 29, 2019 Is there some kind of problem with the gas gauge instrument? My needle never moves, and I'm pretty sure I ran out of fuel. Engine just crapped out. This is a great module, I'm just wondering if it is still a work in progress like half of my fleet.
Squiffy Posted June 29, 2019 Posted June 29, 2019 Did you burn enough or did you unstart with a compressor stall. Well modeled in the Sabre. You can emergency air start. Never paid much attention as I only have time for dogfight practice with newbie cheats on.

71st_AH Rob Posted June 30, 2019 Posted June 30, 2019 Fuel gauge was working fine last time I checked. I will have a look later today. It only measures the internal tank quantity so if you are drawing from drop tanks it won't move. Fuel should automatically begin to be drawn from the internal tanks once drop tanks are empty so should not lead to fuel starvation. Compressor stall or flame out are the most likely reasons for the engine to stop, normally engine will windmill at 50-70%. Did it stop completely?
Devil_Lettuce Posted March 2, 2020 Posted March 2, 2020 I know we don't get much action in this sub, but I've been flying my F-86 a lot lately on the new 5.6 patch and the gas gauge is moving just fine.
Mars Exulte Posted March 2, 2020 Posted March 2, 2020 Gas gauge worked last time I flew it a few weeks ago. Drop tanks feed directly into the internal tanks, thereby keeping it ''full'' until they're empty (that's how you know the DTs are empty).

Reflected Posted March 3, 2020 Posted March 3, 2020 I flew the Sabre yesterday, it worked fine for me. Maybe you had externa tanks on? Facebook Instagram YouTube Discord
jocko417 Posted March 3, 2020 Posted March 3, 2020 Hard to say. External tanks running dry will still lead to internal fuel being burned/needle movement. I have had partial power losses in game where max RPM is limited to 60-70%. Been that way for years, although rare now. In-flight shut down and relight fixes it.
Mars Exulte Posted March 3, 2020 Posted March 3, 2020 *clears throat* Ahem, do any of you people have ''random failures'' enabled? That is literally a low percentage chance of something breaking. I've had it range from something as insignificant as the clock to something important like an APU or fuel system. Де вороги, знайдуться козаки їх перемогти. 5800x3d * 3090 * 64gb * Reverb G2

I've had it range from something as insignificant as the clock to something important like an APU or fuel system. I don’t believe so. My fuel gauge worked perfect last night. That being said I did have a compressor stall while in the furball that I’ve never experienced before. I was rocking the throttle too hard and probably some damage after eating a 23mm shell. It was awesome.
